interesting thread on the viral "Ivy League students use ChatGPT and can't read" article. here's the TLDR of the argument:

the education system doesn't align with learning for real-world goals, so students use AI for seemingly irrelevant assignments or tasks they don't find engaging or practical, but NOT for subjects they value

my initial reactions:
a) part of life is doing things you don't want to do or don't find interesting

b) how are students using AI so nonchalantly? all of my papers / problem sets were evaluated for plagiarism and AI

c) the most valuable things i learned in college are non-academic real-world skills (independence, critical thinking, resilience, navigating systems) that ChatGPT can't teach in real-time

d) didn't the DOE just release guidelines encouraging AI integration in classrooms? teaching students how to use AI as a force multiplier is better than penalizing them imo

has anyone stopped to ask WHY students cheat? would a buddhist monk "cheat" at meditation? would an artist "cheat" at painting? no. when process and outcomes are aligned, there's no incentive to cheat. so what's happening differently at colleges? the answer is in the article: https://t.co/TnRLEQpbP9

i'd chat precisely it's a subject i value, and to be able to do the subject at scale could be industrially important

i'd use chatGPT because i can use the dialogues to operationalize the processes, and in some cases protocolize such that the intelligence is embedded and useful for others
